So, I've been reading Engadget and Gizmodo for several years. Lately, they've been covering a lot of different brand/sizes of these "Netbooks". Tiny portable machines with all the specs of a Macbook Air including sans optical drives.

Dell is supposedly coming out with their Netbooks today. They are having some press event or something in India. That being said, I would go with the Asus Eee PC 1000h if I were a buyer today. I like its features and styling the best. Next on my list would be the MSI Wind._________________1.25GHz Mac Mini / 1.8GHz iMac G5 / 2.0GHz C2D Mac mini (2009)

for a month or 2 i had an asus eee 7", lets just say, they look alot cooler than youd think, i mean its great to have a "laptop" thats that freakin small, but i found that it was a painful task to web browse, and typing was really difficult, it was just all around cramped. i going on my iphone and browsing the internet easier. for the price point they are not bad, but from my point, i thought it was just too small, and the novelty quickly wore off_________________powerbook g4 15" 1.5ghz backlit keyboard, 80gb 768mb

I've got an eeepc 701 and just bought a 1000h. The 1000h is the ideal size for me. 10" screen and 92% full sized keyboad.

It has a 2.5" SATA hard drive and makes upgrading easy. In fact I've upgraded to 2gb of ram and a 160gb WD Scorpio 7200rpm drive is delivering today.

3 usb 2.0 ports, wireless n, bluetooth, sd card reader, and 1.3mp webcam is a great package. Also has VGA out if you want to use a desktop backup. Windows XP Home is standard and I'm having to reacquaint myself after going "OSX only" at home three years ago._________________mid 2010 mini 2.4, 256gb SSD, 8gb, OSX 10.7.3

Any chance of making one of these little beauties a "hackintosh"? If so, I may be really interested.

Hackers I'm with you on this one. I don't really care about the ethics or legality issues of it. I just need a small form factor machine that "just works"_________________MacMini 2.0GHz C2D (2009)

Ya know, it's funny. When the Macbook Air was first released I thought "that's only for people that travel quite a bit, a small demographic"

Now, I think, geez, I really could use a more portable machine for daily duties.

Mainly being, web browsing, email, photos, etc.

Anyone see one of these little beauties dual booting?

I currently am using a base model Macbook for work. I have XP installed with bootcamp but, use it with VMWare Fusion. Something along those lines would be great, if not, I could transfer all my XP stuff over to the Netbook and use it that way.

I was interested, but then figured for the money I could build a decent desktop._________________"You must control your future by taking command of your present, and fixing and learning from your past."

Not exactly apples and oranges there Dungeon. A Netbook (ultra portable) to a Desktop (basically a boat anchor). . .

Well I was planning on getting one after I get a MacBook, but then thought about it and couldn't really justify it since most of the time I'm away from home I'm either driving to do something or doing said thing or at school which I wouldn't mind having one for, but wouldn't really use it since I can write fast enough, and as a plus in a random test of one class only one in five other students can read my writing, so my pencil has built in encryption ._________________"You must control your future by taking command of your present, and fixing and learning from your past."
